WARNINg: Never start the fire before the digital control has not been turned on; The temperature control unit must work until
the complete shut-off and complete cooling of the thermoproduct (See chapter LACK OF ELECTRICITY).
ATTENTION: never light for any reason if the installation is not completely full of water in order to avoid a serious damage
of the whole structure. IABsOLUTELy DO NOT LIgHT THE FIRE IN THE APPLIANCE IN THE TOTAL OR PARTIAL ABsENCE OF
WATER (NOT EVEN FOR CHECKING), AS IT COULD BE IRREMEDIABLY RUINED. IN SUCH CASE THE WARRANTY ON THE APPLIANCE IS
VOIDED.
WARNINg: After the first ignition you can smell bad odours (owing to the drying of the glue used in the garnitures or of the paint)
which disappear after a brief using of the appliance. It must be ensured, in any case, a good ventilation of the environment.
Upon the first ignition we suggest loading a reduced quantity of fuel and slightly increasing the calorific value of the equipment.
To perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to know the following information:
• the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, in fact there are simultaneously parts in cast iron, steel,
refractory material and majolica;
• the temperature to which the body of the product is subject is not homogeneous: from area to area, variable temperatures within the
range of 300°C - 500°C are detected;
• during its life, the product is subject to alternated lighting and extinguishing cycles in the same day, as well as to cycles of intense use or
of absolute standstill when season changes;
• the new appliance, before being considered seasoned has to be subject to many start cycles to allow all materials and paints to complete
the various elastic stresses;
• in detail, initially it is possible to remark the emission of smells typical of metals subject to great thermal stress, as well as of wet paint. This
paint, although during the manufacture it is backed at 250 °C for some hours, must exceed many times and for a given period of time the
temperature of 350 °C before becoming completely embedded in the metallic surfaces.
Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:
1. Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is installed.
2. During the first starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the quantity indicated in the instructions manual) and
keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-10 hours with the registers less open than the value indicated in the instructions manual.
3. Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, according to your possibilities.
4. Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation booklet concerning maximum load) and,
if possible, keep the lighting periods long avoiding, at least in this initial phase, short ON/OFF cycles.
5. During the first starts, no object should be leaned on the appliance and in detail on enameled surfaces. Enameled surfaces must
not be touched during heating.
6. Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car, avoiding abrupt heating with excessive
loads.
To light the fire, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means.
It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.
ATTENTION: during the first lightings there could be a solid smokes condensation with a small escape of water from the
appliance: this event will expire in a very short time but if it persists it will be necessary to check the chimney draught.
The openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together (you must open the eventual Ignition control, and butterfly valve
placed on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, you may load other fuels and adjust the air for combustion according
to the instructions on paragraph DESCRIPTION.
Please always be present during this phase.
Never overload the appliance (see cap. TECHNICAL DATA / hourly consumption). Too much fuel and too much air for combustion
can cause overheating and therefore damage the appliance. The warranty does not cover the damages due to overheating of
the equipment.
Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases in the room.

LOW EMIssION FIRE LIgHTINg

Smokeless combustion is a way of lighting a fire able to significantly reduce the emission of harmful substances. The wood burns gradually
from the top downwards, so combustion is slower and more controlled. Burnt gases pass through the high temperatures of the flame and
therefore burn almost completely.
Place the logs in the hearth a certain distance apart as shown in the
or vertically in the case of tall narrow combustion chambers. Place the fire starter module on top of the pile, arranging the first logs in the
module at right angles to the pile of wood.
Fire sTARTER MODULE. This fire starter module replaces a paper or cardboard starter.
Prepare four logs, 20 cm long with a cross section of 3 cm by 3 cm. Cross the four logs and place them on top of the pile of wood at right
angles, with the fire lighter (wax impregnated wood fibre for example) in the middle. The fire can be lit with a match. If you want, you can
use thinner pieces of wood. In this case, you will need a larger quantity.
Keep the flue gas exhaust valve and combustion air regulator open.
